On the edge of becoming a family of three; of bringing home a new life to share our home; of starting the next chapter of the journey that we are on as a couple; and on the edge of our seats waiting for it all to happen!
Here we are at 38 weeks and change, waiting for baby EJ to make his/her appearance. For those of you that know anything about all this stuff, I'm dilated to 2.5cm and 50% effaced, and the baby is at -2 station. So, we've made some progress toward having this kiddo, but not enough to jump in the car and head to the hospital! But there is a light at the end of this pregnancy tunnel... if EJ has not arrived on his/her own by the morning of the 26th, I'll go in at 8:00am to start Pitocin for an induction. That's the adjusted doctor approved due date that is in my chart now. But I'm hoping for something to happen this weekend! I'm ready to meet this little one and my heart (and body) are tired of waiting for that moment! I want to know if I've been sheltering a little boy or little girl from the world for the last nine (ten!) months! I'm just ready to be done with being pregnant. I never thought I would say that, since this has been a very easy pregnancy in comparison to some of my friends, but I guess when you get to 38 weeks and the doctor tells you that your baby could weigh 8lbs plus, you reach a point where even the easy stuff looks hard!
So, we have some of you on a call list... and some on an email list... and some of you will find out via Facebook. So, if you haven't heard anything by Monday morning, don't panic and start calling us! When the baby is here, we'll make sure that the news is out there! Trust me... Edgar will be shouting it from the rooftops! Until then, please know that all of your thoughts and prayers are appreciated very much!
Love, Tracey
